Mr. Bennerr:— The curtain has fallen on the last scene in the last act of the last year’s drama. The remem- brance of 1844 will be furnished to the mind by memory only. Mr. 1844 is dead—he hes gone the way all men and all things must go. The year over which Mr. 1844 presided will be remembered by the citizens of the West while memory retainsa place in their globes. The debut of Mr. ’44 gave signs of an experimental administration, alternate rain and clear, and mud three to four inches deep to begin a New Year with The thought ot making calls in such weather was out of the question—mur- murs were uttered, expressive of great dissatisfac- tion. One month had scarce elapsed after his ascen- sion, before a terrible and melancholy accident oc- curred to the steamer“Shepherdess,”’almost in sight of our city, by which many persons met a watery grave, and others lost their all, and were thrown neon the hospitality and charity of our citizens ‘heir wants were answered promptly and cheer- fully. Then came the great flood of the western waters, unprecedented within the memory of man by which millions of Property were destroyed, an many ot our ens and neighbors sacrifed their lives in their anxiety to save property and the lives of the brute creation from the watery element When the waters had abated, and men could look upon their once comfortable, but then desolated homes—upon their once splendid, but then wrecked fortunes; then it was calamity,came in another guise in the shape of those hideous diseases, congestive, bilious and fever aguess which stalked through the country with rapid strides, and demanding tribute from jost every one, and quite frequently de- manding the victim ‘as'an appeasement. Then came the musquitoes in increased number, and much more courageous. They would attack our forts—bars—with the lixe spirit Don Quixote did Windmills, and thea they remained with us much longer; surely, they must have known that Mr. 1844was reigning. In the political line, the west and the world were greatly disappointed, in not electing the people’s choice to fill the Presidential chair for the coming four years. Inthe commercial line, business was not near what the merchants had anticipated. Then again, we had a dry, dusty, parched up sum- mer and autumn, and the streams, unusually low, and navigable for the smallest class of steamers only. On the very eve of hisexit, as if to leave another memento of his reign, and cause the weed of mourning to be worn by many in the eastern clime, the steamer Capital was burned a few miles below our city, and a family, consisting of a hus- band, wife and two children, from Lynn, Mass., meta fiery grave. But Mr. 1844 is dead. In ob- livion’s bed let him seek repose, to be disturbed by memory only, when it shall draw its draughts to act as lamps, whereby to guide our feet through the labyrinth of another year. Yesterday, Mr 1845 made his the stage of action. He came bedecked inall his loveliness. The sun robed itself with resplendent brightnesa—the sky clear— the air balmy, and of a sweet temperature ; the watérs were unrvfiled, and all nature seemed to wear approving smiles at the birth of 1845. A lovelier day I have never witnessed. Yesterday being New Year’s Day, in conformity with a custom which has received the sanction of our citizens, was devoted to receiving and giving calls. The hand of friendship was extended cor- dially, and I am fearful the hearts of many were ipven instead of hands; for the ladies were gaily essed, and their pretty faces richly ornamented with smiles, as old friends and visitors would drop in to the eompliments and greetings of the day. In the evening, the Union Fire Company gave a magnificent tea party, where about 2000 persons were assembled. The net proceeds, which were about $900, goes towards purchasing a lot on which to erect anengine-house. Their present lot, which was leased from the School Commissioners, and on which they erected a house for the engine several years ago, has been taken from them by the decision of the Supreme Court of the State, at the suit of Col, Chambers—knewn in this commu- nity as Miserly Chambers. Those school lands have, and are creating lawsuits and litigations. A few weeks ago a very worthy gentleman, Mr. John Stacker, of Tennessee, gave the School Commis- sioners $12,000, as a compromise for property which he says he has paid for two or three times. Our city i rapidly. One who ited it for a few years would be amazed at the great change in the place; to give your readers a faint idea of the great improvement in our city, I will give an instance as an illustration: In 1839, an enterp! gentleman, Capt. C. Case, came to our city; in the spring of 1840, he pur- chased property about 14 miles north of the court house, in what was then an apple orchard, and hardly within seeing distance of a road, and v0 get to it one would have had to go down the most countrified hills one would see ina day’s ride; well, two years after, the city excavated and mac- adamized a plane, which is now Broadway, and which runs immediately in front of the said perty. The blocks have been laid out, streets regularly numbered some distance beyond. Again, to show the rapid settlement of that part of our city, and the enterprize and foresight displayed 7 the above named gentleman, I will mention that about two years ago he started an omnibus, and ran it between Market street and the Upper ferry, a distance of twoand a half miles, All thought the undertaking preposterous, and the idea gave signs of a diseased brain. It has turned out profit- ably, and the rapid increase of travelling has caused, another one, drawn by four horses, to be put on. Persons who have been absent from the city dur- ing the period of two years, would be astonished at the number of persons travelling in those omnibuses daily. The above named gentleman, doubtless has been a constant and attentive reader of the “Herald,” and acted under your advice, (which crowned his undertaking with success,) which was given several years ago, and is as fol- lows: “This is the most propitious time in the werld to begin business, but it must be begun on the right principle—with the proper temper—the bine industry—the coolest sagacity—and above all,with an inflexible adherence to truth, integrity, economy, and cash down, whether it is ‘ democra- cy or aristocracy.’” There is at present a dearth of political news. The municipal election, which takes place in April, will soon begin to be agitated _ Our Legislature has been in session for some time, but as yet have done nothing but elect Sena+ tors and Bank officers. A bill has been offered in both houses for the repeal of our Bank charter, for bunkum, I suppese. The holidays being over, it is to be hoped they will go te work and accomplish the necessary business, and return to their respec- tive homes. ‘The Illinois Legislature is still in ses- sion. The members voted to pay themselves at the beginning agthe session, for fear, I suppose, the treasury might spring aleak. The democrats have such a large majority that business is done on the jug handle principle—ailone way. The politi- cians of that State have a way of transacting poli- tical business in their caucus or “ Bull Pen,” that the Albany Regency, that was, would be amazed to behold. . . Communications have been received by the le- gislature from the two Bank Commissioners. Mr. . Prickett, of the Shawneetown Bank, says there wason hand, Feb 21, 1843, $183,094 in specie ; there has been paid out to bill holders pro rata di- vidends $149,295. The expenses of the bank, 15.000: paid judgment in favor United States ,600,making the aggregate $166,995,and leaving # balance of specie on Land at this date of $16,- 209.

Excitement among Philadelphia Episcopatians— Anxiety to see the New York Herald—Real Source of the Onderdonk Persecution— ‘The Consecration of the Onderdonks originally caused by the Low Church Fuction—Rev. Bird Wilson of the Semi- nary. Dear Bennett :— Your interesting sketches of evidence in the On- derdonk case have been read by the pious ones amongst us with an avidity absolutely indescriba- ble. No sooner has the New York mail arrived, than crowds throng the several agencies of your widely circulated journal in this city, in anxious anticipation of further developments in the serio. comic drama of Episcopal peccadillos.. The ladies especially, with whom your impartiality and high moral sensibility have made you a particular favo- rite, are unable to dine with good appetites until they have read Bennett’s piquant record of pastoral tenderness and ministerial dalliance. As {or the “Evening Mirror,” and Willis’ unworthy suspicions and ungallant xen ANODE in reference to the an- gelic creatures who frequent the vestries and con- versational circles of our churches, no language strong enough to express the indignation and orn with which they have been read by our pious fair ones—paiticularly those of the Episcopal com- munion of our city, who have always maintained a reputation for moral purity and refined piety far beyond that accorded to the ladies of any other denomination whatever. _ The base motives actuating the prosecutors of the delinquent Bishop have also been held up by your judicious pen to just and merited reproach. % is not to be denied that the adversaries of the Bishop are entirely destitute of the kind of character which only can justify them in taking the attitude they have assumed as vindicators of female inno- cence. They are, it is contessedly clear, as deep in crime as is the reverend gentleman whom they pretend to denounce for his moral transgressions, but whose theological offences are the real source of his obnoxious position amongst the ‘* wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Had the scriptural maxim been observed, and no stone thrown but by one without sin, the persecuted ordainer of Carey had been un- molested by charges of official indecorum. _ The sober reality of the Onderdonk persecu- tion imply in his Puseyite predilections, and if he had been impeached and tried on this ground, there could have been none so unreasonable as to have said or done ought against such a proceeding. But there is something so ineffably base, hypocri- tical, and unmanly—something, in one word, so perfectly low-church in deposing a prelate for one offence, and charging him with an entirely differ- ent ene, that all hands, here at Jeast, are raised up in execration of an act of treachery and falsehood so upjustand ungenero The same despicable game has been played by the same faction in our city, in reference to the outs Caaredonl, who was, your readers know, charged with a long fects, but one of which was of sufficient have excited the least attention, had not the gentleman been an obstinate adve of low- church fanaticism and insolence in 1s efforts to disorganise and remodify the doctrine isci- pline of the Episcopal Church in the United States. The turbulent and unprincipled zealots who are at the head of the low-church schism, have, ever since the consecration of the Onderdonks been engaged in afurious war upon the supporters of the old school of Episcopacy, i they do, all the learning, rene piety of that denomination in 1 try. will be remembered that the election of Rev. Wilson (now of the Theological Seminary of New York) to the Episcopal Church Gt Henne lvania, was lost through the factious o| tion of the same infamous cabal, which has now procured the sus- pension of the two Onderdonks, and that it is only to the overstrained modesty of that worthy divine (who refused to vote in his own favor, and thus forever crush the Evangelical chque in this diocese) that it is now indebted for the power it possesses, and which it exercises with so little re- gard to justice, right, or decency. But its di e aumbered,and its downfall t be fi , un- less the intelligence, honestag impartiality and coe of the American people haveventirely deeert- ed them. Claverack, N. ¥. {Correspondence of the Herald.) Cuaverack, Columbia co. Jan. 17, 1845. Dagar Bennett— A person would be led to believe from present appearances, that old Columbia Wasa “‘tey shop,” and this little village the “‘show window,” or that the world wasa theatre, and this part of her fer- tile region the stage. We have heard nothing of late but the sounding trumpet and the beating drum. All kind of stories are afloat—all kind of capers as being daily cut up. The poor anti-rent men have to father every outrage committed in the county. Last week a horse wasstolen bya man dressed in the garb of an “Indian.” Day betore yesterday a man was seen ing some hogs away, aid all were certain it was an Indian; he could not be any one but renter. On Sunday morsing the of God was open, and our most respectable and worthy citizen, Phi- lip Wolph, Esq., dragged out doors and beaten ve- ry severely. He was ly taken to the house of Mr. Jacob » when Doctor uire, an eminent young physician, was eent for, who examined his hea ich was horribly bruised. He considered recovery. His hair was so much saturated blood that it as- sumed a redish hue. Also, lerick E. Stow, _. was on the same eveningstruck with a club, and Misa Whitbut, a charming young lady, gene- tally known for her literary ment, was chas- ed home, the villains threate! her violence.

It appeared that inthe year 1887. Don- court purchased a farm, consisting of 140 acres at Hemp- stead, L.1., from a Mr. George Pettit, tor $9,000, paying $2,260 in cavh, and giving a mortgage for $6,750, after which | SeSoatoo Doncourt expended on the same, by way of improvement, $2,000. In March, 1840, Doncou ippeared. came down to this city, and opened a stor 375 Pearl street, iot, it was alleged, Ne to farnish him with eee fn for said store =About the year 1840, Theriot entered into a copartnership with a Mr. White, promising, it was alleged, to render to the firm all the assistance in his power to carry on the manu. facturing of paper hangings. Doncourt, per agreement, waa to receive two-thirds of all the property made, and White onethird. In December, 1840, it appeared that Theriot and Doncourt had a settlement of acconnts from March to Octeber, 1840, when it found that Doncourt owed Theriot $10,000. This debt ing no connexion with the partnership accounts, was settled by Doncourt’s confessing a judgment to 1 in that amount, which was to be paid off, according as it may the convenience of D. In 1841, D. had a settlement r creditor, named Stammers, to the amount of ‘$2,800—1 Stammers owing Theriot $700. It was h npon mutually agreed between Theriot, Stammers Doncourt, that as said D. owed $1,000 to Theriot, a mort gage be gi by Stammers, on hi iain property, to the amount of $3,600, made over to Theriot, with the un- derstanding that the avails should be applied to payin; off the judgment held by Theriot against Doncourt, an the balance owing Doncourt was to be paid over to him as collected by Theriot. The two first payments due on the mortgage were made by Stammers to,Theriot. No subsequent payment, it appeared, was made, and the con- ditions of the mortgage, it was all were, therefore, not enforced by Theriot, who still holds the securities. During theexistence of the partnership between Don- court and White, Theriot proposed the building of a man- ufactory on the farm of Doncourt, at Hempstead, as a con- cern for White and Doncourt, promising to loan $5,000 te D. for the purpose, the security for which waa to be a second mortgage on D.’s farm. The manufactory was accordingly built, under the superintendence of D. ; the moneys for said building, from December, 1841, to No- vember, 1842, being supplied by White and sometimes by Theriot. hereupon executed the second mo!

Doncourt objected to the balance sheet, and partnership was dissolved.— Subsequently business negotiations occurred between the parties in relation to a settlement,when, in April 1842,Mr, White died ; and Theriot has always remained in posses- sion of the store and stock of goods belonging, it was al: leged, to White and Doscourt from time of the disso- lution—and retains posession of the farm at Hempstead, in virtue of Dorcourt’s mortgage.

Ordway The District Attorney called upen the defence to produce the policy urance on the goods in the store, and on their produeing it, he offered it in evidence. The defence objected to the policy being read, in much as the indictment alleged that the store had been willfully, &c. set fire to, the store which was insured in the Mutual Insurance Company for the purpose of preju- dicing the insurance, and they contended that upon that Cen it was inadmissable, as the policy was for the ods. . The Disrriet Attorney Ccoubted whether the objec- tion was not well taken, and the Court decided that it was well taken, and ruled ont the policy. Mr. Giwgon D.C Mansn, called and sworn.—Testified that he knew the premises, No. 4 South William street, and on the night of the 24 of November, when the pre- mises wereon fire, entered them, and in the front reom, in the second story, and then discovered the floorto be on fire, and burned through the beams and planking. The fire had teken in the middle of the floor, between the ‘stairway and the southwest wall; the stove stood within about two feet of where the burnt part here was very few goods in the store; there were some boxes, but mostiy empt; Cross-exai jon unimportant. Cornsiivs Anperson, Chief-Engineer, called and sworn—testified thaton the morning after the fire, he aoticed the premises particularly; the fire presented a very singular hg ge several of the beams were burned through in the second story, but the staircase and siding wes not burnt in the first story. The fire was about four or five feet from the stove, and appeared to have noconnection with it. My opinion is that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and set on fire in the second floor. He then went on, and gave his reasons for arriving at that conclusion. The Grand Ji came into Court at 1 o’clock, and hi ving transacted all the business before them, were di charged, with the thanks of the Court. Lorenzo Drumonico called sworn.—Knows the porter of Mr. Ordway’s store, I did not see him bring the key thet night, but it was generally left there every night ; there are filty or sixty keys left there; I was at the store soon after the fire broke out, which was about 11 or 12 o’clock; I did not go in until the next morning; i ons appeared to be within about two or three feet o! e stove.

Other witnesses were examined, to show that there was but a very small amount of property in the store, by way of showing a motive for the act. The defence submitted to the court that there was no- thing to put them upon their defence, inasmuch as there was no section of the statute uader which the prosecution could claim a conviction under the indictment. The Covar bela the jury that the indictment w: badly framed, and instructed the jury that they must ‘and they accordingly did so.

Upwards of 20,000 acres of land have been subscribed for the Nacogdoches University. ‘We would infer, from the tone of the Texas papers, that the people of that country, however much they de- sire annexation, would not consent to come into the Union upon the terms of Col. Benton’s bill. pear to regard the proposition of Col. Benton as insult to them in so far as it implies a claim ot Mexico upon territory of Texas, or countenances the idea that they can be subdued to the Mexican yoke. They likewise scout the idea of any terms being imposed upon them, in respect to slavery, by the act of annexation. They de- to come into the Union free to act as they think fit on il matters of domestic policy, just as the states of the Union now are. ‘We learn, verbally, that a bill has passed the Cor providing for the removal of the seat of government Washington to Austin. It was not known whether Presi- dent Jones would veto the act or not. ‘We copy the following interesting particulars from the Galveston News of the 7th inst :— By the arrival of the sloop H. L. Ki direct from Corpus Christi, throug! commander, we have been furnished wit! e from Matamores to Corpus Christi by express, from which we havegleaned the !ollowing later and impor- tant news in relation to the movements among the revolu- tionists. From the latest officiel news at Matamoras, from the interior of Mexico, it appears that Gen. Paredas at the head of 8,000 men, marched against Santa Anna, who at that time had under his command 13,000 troops. On the approech of Paredas, Santa Anna immediately retired great numbers of his soldiers desertiog his cause. This ‘etreat extended to the city of Puebla, where tacked by Peredas and defeated. Gen. Santa Anna, who made his escape, was compelled to disguise himself and take conveyance in a common coach of the country. The particulars of this battle is not given, but we presume the victory was achieved by Gen. Paredas at great expense of life, as is usually the case in Mexican warfare. Innorthern Mexico the revolution has been general throughout the country. Atthe last accounts General Canales, in conjunction with Gen. Arista, were marchin; at the headof alarge force against Gen. Woll, who st held out in favor of centralism The revolution broke out inthe city of Matamoras on the 19th ult. On the reception of the news in Matamo- cas, of the success of the Federal party, the citizens op- posed to centralism, and in favor of federalism, assem- bled at the moat public places, and immediately denoun- ced the tyrant, and publicly proclaimed for the federal use. Great excitement prevailed in the city durin; iawas seized and imprisons nd down with centralism, be- rs, until the revolutionists be- came triumphant. In Monteray the same scenes were enacted as in other ities, but of a more sanguinary character. The: a lars _we have not received, tl an account of the death of Gen. Jose Maria Ortoga, Governor of the city of Monteray, who was publicly butchered for his ful adherence to the cause of Santa Anni Capt.

On the 10th September last heard de- fundant, Cochrane, say that he could prove Maxwell to be @ damned thief—that he had stolen pics out of his chest. It was said before Maxwell’s men, as if to injure him. Had heard Cochrane say it three or four times : twice at viattin’s house. On one occasion, when def was ooking for work, he said to Martin, “ Why do you em- ploy that damned rascal? Asked him why he did not prosecute Maxwell, if he had stolen his things, to which he replied, that he had procrastinated too long. Huan Cosacx called —Knows the ‘ies in this action., Was present when Cochrane called Maxwell a thief, and called him a damned scoundrel, saying that he had stolen pics out of his chest.
